Student Resource Program

In 2009, the Student Resource Program was started in order to provide both student and teacher support at every level. Primarily formed in order to help struggling readers, the Resource Program grew in its first years as it began to accommodate all types of learning situations. The SRP now serves many purposes. Whereas other schools charge additional fees for the extra help, Westminster School provides this program to all students who might need it for no extra charge. Usually, services are provided during the school day; however, classes may also be held before and after school, when needed.
